11. Live Our Name

We live our name by embracing the quirks in all of us.

We called ourselves Come As You Are for a reason. We don't think cookie cutter solutions work when it comes to sex and we see no reason why anyone should have to deny parts of themselves just to get by. Celebrating sexuality means embracing the quirkiness in all of us, and the best part of our jobs is connecting with people who are expressing and discovering new quirks in their own lives.

Promoting evolving self expression rather than requiring everyone to fit into someone else’s expectations results in better decisions for our co-operative and better service for our customers. Helping people make their own decisions means they leave our store and website having picked products that match their desires and needs.

We promise that we’ll never put you in a box based on what you look like, who you’re having sex with, who you love, or who you are when you come in the store. When we say "come as you are", we mean it.
